Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic
Directions
Step 1
Begin by trimming and washing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like consistency. This will serve as a low-carb substitute for the traditional bulgur wheat used in tabouli.
Step 3
Transfer the 'riced' cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes, until just tender. Alternatively, you can steam the cauliflower on the stove. Allow to cool completely.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves. Aim for a very fine chop to evenly distribute the flavors.
Step 5
Dice the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into small, uniform pieces to match the texture of the cauliflower.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, chopped parsley, mint, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic clove.
Step 8
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower tabouli and toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Step 9
Allow the tabouli to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving, which lets the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 10
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
